To my remote countryside house in Europe comes two overhead wires. Transformator is about 1 kilometer away. Inside a house there is a meter and multiple russian type fuses/breakers(image). There are no ground rods or any equipment grounding conductor installed. To make system safer I installed new distribution panel with RCDs and MCBs downstream the meter and fuses. I'm also replacing wiring from 2 core to 3 core cable installation so I would have equipment grounding conductor. I came up with these questions and can't find answer to it:

Is it wrong to bond neutral to ground in this system without any ground rods installed? Doesn't that make system safe in case of fault so current will have a path to return? What if I put a few ground rods but keep the bonding, will that make any sense?

I would appreciate if someone explains where I'm wrong.
